Psychological work tends to start with an assessment. An assessment will involve me learning about what has brought you to seek help, what you are struggling with, what has happened to you throughout your life and the impact different experiences have had on you. It will also involve me finding what would you would like to be different and what you would like to gain from psychological therapy.
The assessment will lead to us developing a shared understanding of your difficulties and a plan for the focus our our work together. We will consider different therapeutic approaches, agree on how many sessions you may need and we can both to consider whether we would be a good fit to work together and that I would be the right person to help you.
I deliver evidence based (recommended treatment approaches in best practice guidelines) psychological therapies. The therapies I primarily use are EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and a CAT informed approach. I am also experienced in using other models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These therapies are explained in more detail in the therapies section of the website . I would discuss the different treatment approaches with you and which approach may be best suited for your difficulties and we can decide together what feels a best fit for you to help you work towards your recovery goals.
Therapy sessions generally last for 50 minutes. I am an open, warm and compassionate psychologist. You are the expert in your story and it is important to me that we work together collaboratively to move forward in your recovery.
